"Obviously, I took the job in mid-November, and Ms. Young rightfully gave me the report and said this has been sitting on my desk and there was not action taken, but you need to be aware of the investigation. The report was finalized," Vitti said.

The latest dates listed on the report are in March of last year, which makes former School Board member Tommy Hazouri wonder why something wasn't done earlier.

"It shouldn't (take so long), and it should've been resolved," Hazouri said in a phone interview. "And I think it's just the culture, it was the culture of the last administration. It was a hurry up and wait."

Vitti said at the news conference Monday that he wants to make a change to pick up the pace of future discplinary actions. And parents like Griffin are eager to see if he'll keep his promise.

"Hopefully, hopefully he does," she said.
